jebb Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Help! Bike will not run without the choke on. Jets replaced, could it be the float height? Any suggestions welcome. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted February 13, 2010 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2010 assuming the air / box and filter are on the bike i would say blocked pilot jet, float height is 21mm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chief, yes, standard airbox etc, I soaked the jets in paintstripper, which obviously has'nt worked on both. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nail varnish remover is good, poke it with a nylon bristle pulled from a brush. use a magnifying glass unless your eyes are very young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paintstripper is often quite a thick solution, even thicker than wallpaper paste, so unfortunately wont flow into the jet orifice and will just sit there doing nowt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
